If I have to guess Tyson will be extremely motivated in the 2nd half, this is definetly awkward. I hope the Hornets just stand pat and don't get too desperate to ship TC/or someone out. This certainly complicates the luxury tax though.

This is suspicious...the thunder could still take chandler if they wanted

Definitely suspicious on their end. They could have easily rested Chandler all year and let him heal. I think they ended up regretting the deal and used the turf toe as an excuse...even if it's somewhat of a legit reason.

Because MetLife has excluded Deng, he can't play in a qualifying tournament for the Olympics next summer without additional insurance, and as you'd expect, a policy to insure a $71 million contract isn't exactly cheap. How expensive? Try $500,000 a summer for each of the next three years. All told, that's about half of the national team's entire budget.

I hope Tyson feels unwelcomed. He is a slacker and just cost our organization big time. I question the medical staff of the Thunder. I think the league should look into their findings. I think they had buyers remorse and bothced the deal.

Dude insurance will only pay the contract of a player that is forced to retire DUE TO INJURIES...see the Jammal Mashburn case when he was only the Sixers roster but didnt play a minute for a whole season

Being insured and having it pay out are two different things. To have it pay out, you'd have to have a career ending injury. Chandler probably does have insurance, but it would only pay out if he's forced to retire. Owned? What are you, twelve?
